Author: Natasha of NatashasKitchen.com
Skill Level: Easy
Serving: 12 eggs
Ingredients
dry outer peels from about 10 yellow onions
campaignIcon Shop
dozen white eggs.
Instructions
Place eggs in a bowl with warm water. Eggs are more likely to crack if they are placed in boiling water when they’re cold.
Fill a small saucepan about ⅓ with water (or enough to cover the eggs). Add onion peel and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 to 10 minutes until onion peels release their color.
Remove eggs from warm water and place them in the pot, making sure they are fully submerged in water. Add more boiling water if needed. Boil 7 minutes, turning the eggs occasionally.
Remove eggs to a bowl of cold water. Once they are cooled, dry with paper towels and Tada!! You can also rub some oil on the shell to give them a nice shine.
And then there's:
Wrapping the egg in the onion skins and then boiling them.

Traditional Easter Marbled Pace Eggs
http://www.lavenderandlovage.com/2012/03/traditions-on-monday-traditional-easter-marbled-pace-eggs.html
Serves 12 Pace Eggs
Prep time 15 minutes
Cook time 5 minutes
Total time 20 minutes
Region British
Ingredients
12 free-range eggs
6 - 8 onion skins (red and yellow)
tinfoil
natural non-coloured string
Optional
butter
beetroot water or spinach water
Note
This is a very old British tradition & method of colouring and dying eggs to be boiled and eaten on Good Friday & throughout the Easter weekend. There are commercial dyes available nowadays, but I still prefer the traditional natural methods of colouring my Easter Pace Eggs – onions skins (and also spinach & beetroot water).
Directions
Step 1 Peel the outer skins away from red and yellow onions. Wrap the skins around the eggs in a random way - you do not need to cover the egg completely.
Step 2 Encase the eggs with the onion skins in a piece of aluminium foil - covering completely, OR tie pieces of non-coloured string around the eggs.
Step 3 Boil the eggs for about 5 -7 minutes. Take off the heat and allow to cool in the water.
Step 4 Peel away the string, aluminium foil, onion skins and arrange the coloured eggs in a basket or egg holder - for the centre of the Easter Breakfast, Tea or Brunch table.
Step 5 You can "polish" the eggs with a bit of butter to deepen the colours and give them a gloss.
Alternative dyes include, beetroot water and spinach water for red and green eggs.
And Then there's this: (You're getting tired of the 'And thens' I can tell)
which has many great ideas; decoupage, an egg tree (you do see where some of your wire trees would work with blown out eggs?), Polish Eggs which are painted over a dyed base it seems like and look to me like Tole painting, and then there's the Russian Easter Egg that started this all.

but there's this:
Franc Grom, often referred to as the "egg master", uses a boring tool to drill 3000 or more tiny holes into the surface of an egg when creating his amazing designs. The link didn't work for me which is probably something to be thankful for.
